The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 21 Assassin
(Is there no one in the comment area? Big guys, come out soon)

Hearing shouts not far away, Zhao Yanxun, who was strolling in the corridor, looked forward.

"What happened?" Zhao Yanxun asked left and right.

Before the accompanying eunuch had time to check, he saw a guard hurried over at the corner ahead.

After Zhao Yanxun approached and saluted, the guard said: "Report to the lord, there is an assassin in the front yard, and Xu Baihu is arresting him!"

assassin?Who wants to kill himself?Zhao Yanxun murmured in his heart, and the first thing he thought of was the prince.

But sending an assassin is the worst way, how could the prince be so stupid?

Originally, Zhao Yanxun was going to see Lin Jingyu, but now he just stood there, waiting for the result of his capture.

The scene was quiet, and more than a dozen guards had gathered around Zhao Yanxun to ensure his personal safety.

Less than 10 minutes later, a guard came to report that the assassin had been captured.

"Look!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.

He was the biggest in the palace, so no one stopped him at the moment, and several guards followed him to the front.

Stepping into another courtyard, there were indeed a few guards who were pressing a young man to the ground, their expressions were full of panic.

Standing under the eaves, Zhao Yanxun stopped and looked ahead through the falling raindrops.

The dozens of guards in the courtyard knelt on one knee in the rain when they saw Zhao Yanxun coming, and said in unison: "My lord!"

"Excuse me!" Zhao Yanxun ordered.

A group of guards stood up, tied up the assassin Wuhuada, and waited for Zhao Yanxun to deal with him.

At this moment, the eunuchs brought chairs, and Zhao Yanxun sat down on the porch.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Zhao Yanxun tightened his neckline, and signaled the guards to take him to the corridor, because he was always drenched in the rain and could easily get sick.

After the person was taken under the eaves, Zhao Yanxun spit out a word: "Judgment!"

After Xu Hong from Baihu got the order, he stepped forward and slapped the boy on the ground, and then asked, "Say...who sent you here!"

Although he was beaten, since he dared to sneak into the inn, the young man was naturally courageous, so he straightened his neck and said, "I came here myself!"

Xu Hong was a martial artist, and his interrogation methods were not strong at all, so he immediately slapped the boy several times.

His hand was so strong that blood was already oozing from the corner of the boy's mouth at this moment, but there was still no sign of surrender in his eyes.

Xu Hong was about to continue his attack, but was stopped by Zhao Yanxun.

"Whoever sent you here, as long as you answer honestly, we won't make things difficult for you!" Zhao Yanxun said slowly.

Although the boy's bones are hard, his brain is very flexible. He knows that Zhao Yanxun has the final say here, and the chance of survival is in his hands.

Seizing the opportunity, the boy explained: "Go back to the prince, the villain is not an assassin!"

This guy denied that he was an assassin for the first time, which can be regarded as grasping the key point of the problem.

"Do you know who I am?" Zhao Yanxun frowned. Since he knew his identity and sneaked in quietly, it must be because of evil intentions.

The young man was good at observing words and expressions. Seeing Zhao Yanxun's face was cold, he immediately explained: "This is the place where the prince's residence stays. The prince is so imposing. How can a villain mistake him for the prince!"

That made sense, so Zhao Yanxun sneered and said, "You say you're not an assassin, so who are you? Why are you here?"

Evading the first round of interrogation, the boy continued to reply: "The villain is the apprentice of Doctor Wang in the town, and he sneaked into the inn to..."

"My lord, according to Yichen, this fellow is probably talking nonsense..."

Seeing that Zhao Yanxun was noncommittal, Xu Hongcai went on to say: "In this small town, what famous doctors are there, and even if there are, they are all charlatans!"

After all, Xu Hong came from the capital city, and he has seen all kinds of religions and nine streams, and he knew immediately that he was a liar when he heard about a miracle doctor.

Unexpectedly, his words angered the boy kneeling on the ground: "You are not allowed to insult my master!"

Xu Hong looked cold, and immediately raised his hand to strike, but Zhao Yanxun yelled: "Stop!"

Although Xu Hong had a bad temper, he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Zhao Yanxun, so he could only give the boy on the ground a hard look.

"Let's say your master is a miracle doctor, so why did you sneak in here?"

The young man replied: "My teacher's wife is suffering from a serious illness, and the master has exhausted all kinds of prescriptions, but they have not worked. I heard the master and the old man complain, it may be because there are few precious medicinal materials..."

Speaking of this, he raised his head and glanced at Zhao Yanxun, seeing that his expression was still calm, the young man confessed: "That's why the young man sneaked into the inn and wanted to go to the pharmacy of the palace to find medicinal materials!"

Although the young man said something serious, Zhao Yanxun would not believe him easily.

Immediately, he sent someone to find the innkeeper, and wanted him to help identify him. Since he was the apprentice of the town's genius doctor, the innkeeper naturally knew him.

"Boy, how dare you not tell the truth in front of the lord, now it's too late to confess honestly, it will be too late!" Xu Hong said murderously to the young man.

Zhao Yanxun didn't stop it, let Xu Hong scare this person, in case something happens!

However, the young man is not afraid at all, he looks like he is not afraid of the shadow slanting.

Stealing things is still so righteous, if Zhao Yanxun was not a time traveler, this person would have been killed long ago.

After a while, the innkeeper was brought over by the guards.

"The grass people kowtow to the prince!"

After signaling him to get up, Zhao Yanxun asked, "Do you know this person?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the young man next to him, nodded his head and said, "Go back to the lord, I know... he is the apprentice of the town's genius doctor Wang, named Zhou Cheng!"

He really is from the town, which means this person is not an assassin?

But even so, the young man will be punished for stealing, otherwise there will be no rules in his palace.

Before Zhao Yanxun could speak, Xu Hong said from the side: "Shopkeeper, you have to tell the truth!"

Xu Hong originally meant to say, don't collude with the young man to get rid of the crime, but he would misunderstand the meaning if he was told the story.

"My lord, I dare not talk nonsense, this divine doctor Wang has superb medical skills... He is very famous in our Taishan Manor!"

The shopkeeper thought that Xu Honghuai had the medical skills of "Wang Miracle Physician". The reason why he thought so was because he knew that there was a noble person in the palace who was sick, so he thought that the prince in front of him wanted to find a famous doctor.

But his words hit the right point, and Zhao Yanxun heard them.

"Excellent medical skills? Is it really so powerful?"

Now that Lin Jingyu is sick in bed, all the imperial physicians are afraid of making diagnosis and treatment, at this moment Zhao Yanxun thought of asking someone else to be wise.

Seeing that he really "guessed correctly" the lord's idea, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Go back to lord, it is said that Doctor Wang was an expert in the imperial hospital back then, but he didn't know who he offended in the capital, so he resigned and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun glanced at the young man Zhou Cheng, who nodded quickly.

"My master's medical skills are excellent, and he was rejected by his colleagues in the imperial hospital, so he resigned in anger and returned to his hometown!" Zhou Cheng added.

Zhao Yanxun waved the shopkeeper back, and then asked Xu Hong who was beside him: "According to the rules of the palace, what should we do if we catch such a thief?"

Xu Hong looked at Zhou Cheng with a sinister smile, and said, "Sneaking into the palace with evil intentions, he should be executed according to the law. If the prince is willing to show mercy, he can cut off his arm as a punishment!"

What Xu Hong said is really not nonsense, the rules are just like this.

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng's legs went limp. At this moment, he couldn't calm down, but for a while, he couldn't say anything to beg for mercy.

"Did you hear that? Capital crimes are inevitable, but living crimes are inevitable!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.

Zhou Cheng was in a hurry to cut off one of his own hands, how could he practice medicine when he was disabled.

"My lord, please forgive me!" Zhou Cheng kowtowed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Zhao Yanxun said, "I'll give you a chance to live!"
